Twentieth Century Club
Cocktails: 6:00 p.m.
Dinner: 7:00 p.m.

Please join us at Fall Fest on Friday, October 19, as parishioners and friends enjoy an elegant evening at Buffalo’s historic Twentieth Century Club, 595 Delaware Avenue. The event includes: a one-hour open bar, hors d’oeuvres, a three-course dinner and live music by the Neville Francis Band.

This $100 per person fundraiser benefits our Under This Roof Fund and will help fund the replacement of roof tiles and repairs to the front stairs and entrance plaza of our Landmark church. This work is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2019 as part of our New York State grant project.

The building which houses the Twentieth Century Club is another of Buffalo’s architectural treasure. You will be welcomed to a historic site which has, since 1894, played host to dignitaries including President and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and Mr. and Mrs. Booker T. Washington.

Reservations are now closed, but the reservation form may be used to make a donation to the church’s Under This Roof Fund.
